My Top 10 Wii Games #7

Triple Third-Party Brouhaha

Blog 87. The Wii was really underpowered, compared to the PS3 and 360. It didn't have big games like Batman Arkham Asylum, Mass Effect, Battlefield, Borderlands or any other big game on the PS3 and 360. However that doesn't mean that the Wii didn't have 3rd-party support.

It had games like CoD, NFS, and more, sure they aren't like the HD versions of the games but atleast Wii owners weren't left in the dust. There are some 3rd-party games all to the Wii's name, exclusives if you will. If you look carefully you'll find gems such as...

Is this nigga serious?

I admit I didn't play this game on the Wii, I played it on the PS3 but it's basically the same game, with prettier graphics. No More Heroes showed gamers that the Wii can have mature-like games on the Wii because apparently people dissed the Wii and thought it was only a toy. NMH is it's own thing, it brought it's own style of gameplay, with the stuff you'd find in your average rated-M game, but with humor that almost makes the game look like a 90's cartoon, and if there is one thing 90's cartoons had, it was alot of hidden adult humor and sexual innuendo.

It's over 9000!

It's crazy, over the top, it's violent, yet funny. Really one of the Wii's best offerings when it comes to third-party games. It's also the only console were you can play it's sequel, I have the game but have yet to play it. At some point once I chip off more games from the Captain's Log (or my backlog).

Gimme back mah Cheerios!

These past 2 gens haven't been kind to Sonic, the only games that were worth playing in terms of 3D Sonic games were Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and those were ports/remakes of older games. This gen, well a certain game would like to have a word with you. Unleashed had the potential to be a good Sonic game but Sega fucked up.

Sonic Colors on the other hand was better. This would be my favorite 3D Sonic game if it wasn't for Adventure 2. Colors is a *gasp* good Sonic game, but I think it's praised because of all the bad Sonic games there's been that it makes this one seem good. It is a good Sonic game, it's a blend of 3D and 2D gameplay, and this game takes a page from Mario by giving Sonic his own power-ups.

Sonic: "Your move Eggman. Eggman: "Curse you Sonic!"

No. The game also has plenty of humor, and most of it pokes fun at itself, or rather the Sonic series. This is one of the best Sonic games in a long time, better than Generations in my opinion, let's just hope Sega and Sonic Team can keep this up.

Bitch fight!

I was keeping tabs on this game when it was revealed and there were rumors that it might come to America, or it might not. It would be cool if it came to America but there were reasons why it couldn't. Mainly licensing issues and well voice actors for the Tatsunoko characters. Other than that, most of the Tatsunoko cast was fairly obscure here besides Gatchaman or G-Force in the U.S.

But I guess Capcom did the impossible and finally brought this game here so one point for doing something good. I got the game when it was on sale, and it was the last copy too, so I got that and couldn't wait till I got home.

I hadn't played Street Fighter since 2 or the Marvel vs Capcom games since 2 as well so I was so out of touch with these games, and rusty.

Stand back and see how a real robot fights

The game was pretty cool and like all fighting games, required you to learn the ins and outs of the characters till you find a team that suits your fighting style. My team consists of Batsu and Zero, those are my main characters, sometimes I switch it up with either Ryu, Chun-Li, Morrigan, Jun the Swan, Ken the Eagle, or Joe the Condor. I have more fighters but those are the ones I use the most.

The game also has some crazy, over the top moves that are just crazyt, but look awesome. Some moves may susprise you.

Surprise asshole!

These are my most favorite 3rd-party games on the Wii, they are all great games, the Wii has more great third-party games but there are some that I still haven't played, but worth checking out. So did you play any of these games, did you like or hate them? Are there some you played that I didn't? Thanks for reading and later.

Captain N

The wii does have some surprisingly mature, gonzo, & creative games. I'd love to play No More Heroes but for now I guess I'll settle for Lollipop chainsaw and Shadows Of The Damned to immerse myself in Suda 51 craziness!
